Did you like it? Maybe you did. I thought you didn't.
Be that as it may, I don't think Valium is good for sleep, in the same way benzos are not good for sleep, whether because they inhibit melatonin synthesis or whatever else.
And as you have found, temazepam is too short acting for sleep maintenance. Dalmane I liked once, when I didn't need it. It is longer acting. You could take the temazepam when you wake in the middle of the night. I did that. But it just jacked my benzo habit up.
You are probably running up against the limits of benzos
I don't know. I just put up with eccentric hours. In bed by 7.30pm and up by 1am.
Short acting mirtazepine would be the go if we had it. It's a horror show the day after for me.
You are still on Emsam? Which aggravates your insomnia?
